Very astute, very intellectual, very low-rated MSNBC host Chris Hayes attempts to identify the political party of racist governor George Wallace, fails.

But did he? It's the narrative his audience wants. A narrative with no troublesome parts or Proud Nails. Something simple and smooth that goes down the throat easily, like baby food or the pablum they make to feed people who can't chew their food.

One of the most inspirational, wonderful stories you'll read this week: Government austerity measures, compelled by creditors demanding cuts be made to the budget, force Greece to shut down its state-run TV and radio ventures, calling them "a haven of waste."

I had a chuckle that the story noting that riot police had been summoned to quell any violence and disorder occasioned by the shut-down. But there was none to quell.

Former sports anchor and current conservative Ron Futrell heckles Bill Maher at one of his stupid Clapping Therapy concerts.

Futrell, an outspoken conservative known for his Twitter rants, told the Review-Journal he was offended that Maher mocked special- needs individuals by using the Â“r wordÂ” against Sarah PalinÂ’s special-needs son.
Â“IÂ’ve got a son with special needs,Â” Futrell said. Â“It didnÂ’t surprise me that Maher said it. It surprised me that a lot of people laughed at that joke.Â”
...
Futrell, a former sports anchor and daytime anchor at ABC affiliate KTNV-TV, Channel 13, before he was fired in 2008, chided Maher for a joke about Halliburton, the oil field services giant.
Â“Halliburton? ItÂ’s 2013,Â” Futrell said several times, until he got MaherÂ’s attention.
...
When Futrell continued to react out loud, the audience member went to get security as Futrell started shouting, Â“WhoÂ’s the president? WhoÂ’s the president?Â”
Futrell said he agreed to leave.
He didnÂ’t consider it as heckling, he said.
Â“I saw it as commentary. I went on an LDS mission to Ireland. I know heckling.Â”

Well I actually do think it's heckling but in the words of every judge on Law & Order, "I'll allow it."

Below: A kitten with two heads was born. Actually it's more like "two faces," but I'll allow it.

The left never forgets an alleged enemy. We all work together in one hivemind collective, don't you know.

It's like when we're told that the Kochs want to control the government with all their money. To this day my first reaction is to say, "Who the hell are the Kochs?"

I was wondering what was going on in there but I have not been hearing about it like I used to (even in that limited way). I have suspected a "rebellion" of sorts at the CIA over Benghazi and other isues, and that Brennan was sent to control the rowdies, but I really don't know at this point. Not that anyone in government can be trusted.

Ask me if I care, go ahead, ask me.

Ok, so now he has profusely apologized for making a simple mistake. And that settles the issue, right? Or is Mr. Hayes so 'programmed' by his bias that he just naturally presumes that any historical figure that has been successfully demonized must be a republican. So he's ignorant.

His parents despaired of what would become of him. Flash forward 30+ years and he got his shit together (also modern meds are a helluva thing) and he now works for Halliburton. He specializes in going places other people really don't want to go. He's also a multi-multi millionaire who has sort of retired at 44 and works 4-6 month contracts if he thinks it's an interesting job. Note that his version of interesting is of the and then the well blew up while they were shooting at us variety.
